According to the Alaska Department of

Fish and Game, while both male and female

reindeer grow antlers in the summer each

year, male reindeer drop their antlers at

the beginning of winter, usually late

November to mid-December. Female

reindeer retain their antlers till after

they give birth in the spring.

Therefore, according to EVERY historical

rendition depicting Santa's reindeer,

EVERY single one of them, from Rudolph

to Blitzen, had to be a girl.

We should've known... ONLY women

would be able to drag a fat man

in a red velvet suit all around the world

in one night and not get lost.
 
I hate to disagree, but....

Comments: Well, look. If we're really going to let science be our guide in this matter, the first thing we must admit is that reindeer don't fly, let alone haul a jolly fat elf around in an airborne sleigh. And if we start down that slippery slope, there's only one conclusion we can possibly reach: Santa Claus doesn't exist. That way lies madness.

But there is a loophole.

It is a fact, according to reindeer experts, that both the male and female of the species have antlers. It is also a fact that while most cows retain their antlers until spring, most bulls drop their antlers by early December. The key word is most.

The experts go on to say that some younger bulls, depending upon hereditary and environmental factors, may keep their antlers well into spring — even as late as April.

So it is plausible to suppose that if, for the sake of argument, there were a Santa Claus, and if, for the sake of argument, he did happen to drive a sleigh through the stratosphere every December 25th pulled by eight "tiny" reindeer, then at least some of those reindeer — including one in particular with a shiny, red nose — could be males.

Chalk one up for tradition.

(It is a pretty good joke, tho.)

On the show Mythbuster's they figured in order for a Reigndeer to actually fly they need to do at least 200 MPH (321.86 KPH) .. Lol so Santa must really be cruising, well he would have to :)

Good fun with santa stuff :)
